Yeah, so I just spent four days in a cabin in the woods.

I'm from Chicago. You don't know what suck is until your snot freezes everytime you walk outside for weeks on end!

You don't know what 31 straight days of rain is like.

Also, Seattle at 29 degrees is much colder than Alaska at -10 degrees. Why? Because everything is sopping wet. Try staying warm when the air itself soaks into your clothes with a latent wetness. My dad used to work as an airplane mechanic in Fairbanks, Alaska and he says the coldest he's ever been is in Seattle on a wet day.

I hope you're comfortable with going 4-5 months a year without seeing the sun. At all.

I know Chicago sucks in it's own way. It's not a competition. I'm just saying I hate Seattle's climate. Lots of people love it, or it wouldn't have half a million people living there.

Wrong, it is a competition and we also don't see the sun for 4-5 months and there is soaking 33-degree rain and lake-freezing seasonal depression and urban heat islands that suffocate people in the summer. I'm just saying I win.

I live in Kenosha, about half an hour north of Chicago, and I gotta agree with Lilith here. The winters are frigid, and the summers sweltering.

Yes I know Chicago sucks in the winter and summer. It still loses because Seattle sucks all year. It's too hot in the summer and no one anywhere as air conditioning, and the rest of the year it's dank, dark, and cold.

Kenosha? Isn't that the city where the characters of "That 70's show" were supposed to have lived?
